Assuming XP since you don't specify which OS you're using, some tips to get your machines to be able to "see" each other:
-Make sure both machines are in the same workgroup (Start -> settings -> Control panel -> System -> Computer Name -> click "Change" and assign both machines to a common workgroup name)
-If using a firewall, which you definitely should be, check the settings to see if your network address range is being allowed (application and router specific, but usually 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255)
-Set the drive(s) that the data will be read from to have sharing enabled (My Computer -> right click on drive to be shared -> Sharing and Security)
At this point you should be able to see the sending machines drive(s) from the receiving machines in Windows Explorer Network Places.
